ENERGY EFFICIENCY FORUM
for Commercial Buildings
Welcome
14 September 2010
Some laughs
•
"When I heated my home with oil, I used an average of 800 gallons a year. I
have found that I can keep comfortably warm for an entire winter with slightly
over half that quantity of beer.”
•
"Due to the current economic climate the "Light at the end of the tunnel" has
been switched off.
•
Do you call a power failure a current event?
•
When we found out how much money could be saved by being more energy
efficient we were ex-static.
•
Five year old to his Mom: Q: Where does the dark go when you turn on the
lights?
•
A foolish gardener planted a light bulb because he thought he would get a
power plant.
•
"If it weren't for electricity, we'd all be watching television by candlelight."
The Energy Efficiency Forum provides owners and managers of
commercial and public buildings with a platform for practical, shared
learning and collective action.
Efficient use of electricity has become increasingly important in view of
steeply rising electricity tariffs and the medium-term shortage of
South Africa’s electricity supply.
The need to reduce operating costs, the risk of future power cuts and
carbon emissions all add up to the urgent need for a concerted effort
to improve energy efficiency, particularly for the larger electricity
users.

Electricity Saving Campaign
Aimed at mid to high income households (LSM 7-10).
Metro wide but selected 4 supply-constrained areas for
intensive efforts namely, Brackenfell, Seapoint, Lansdowne,
and Hout Bay.
Social Marketing Campaign - behavior change beyond simply
‘awareness’.
Bi-line,‘Smart Living. Smart Saving. For All the Right Reasons’
Maximise Partnerships: Media, Eskom, Retailers, Builders
Warehouse, etc
Consumer insights
Most people understand the need to save
But not aware of how serious shortage is
Already doing some things to save at home
But not sure what the most effective methods are
Info diversity/overload, not sure who to trust for advice
Not happy with authorities
‘Grudge purchase’
Cost is #1 reason for saving, but other reasons too
Every house is different. No single answer for all.
Cape Town-specific home consumption
Middle to high income households.
